Conducted a systematic review of existing literature
Analyzed studies focusing on QoL related to hospital admission
Included studies evaluating the first episode of psychosis
QoL scores remained consistent over time during hospital admission
Indicates that QoL is relatively well preserved at the first episode
Highlights a gap in research regarding inpatient-based interventions in FEP.

Abstract

There is a relative paucity of studies that have examined QoL in relation to hospital admission. QoL scores remained consistent over time, suggesting that QoL is relatively well preserved at the first episode. Further research is needed on the impact of inpatient-based interventions in FEP.
